Is there a minimum age to apply for paying voluntary contributions to my UK pension?

No, the younger, the better as you can spread the Voluntary Contributions' cost over a more extended period. The cheaper class 2 voluntary contributions is due for reassessment by the UK government and is most likely going to revised within this, or the next budget, so getting started is important to ensure that when you apply, class 2 is still available.
